2010 Lexus IS F 5.0L Petrol · AV60 VNE

The most recent MOT, dated 12 December 2025, was a pass. The only recorded defect was corrosion on both the nearside and off‑side brake pipes, each described as “covered in grease or other material front to rear”. This is a safety‑critical item – corroded brake pipework can weaken over time and affect braking performance if it fails. A year earlier, the 12 December 2024 MOT failed mainly for tyre problems: exposed ply on the off‑side front inner tyre, a deep cut on the nearside rear tyre, damage to the nearside front inner tyre, and an under‑inflated nearside front tyre. The same test also noted a product on the front headlamp, which was carried forward as a minor advisory on the 12 December 2025 pass. The tyre failures were resolved before the 2025 test, as no tyre defects were recorded then. The pattern that emerges is a one‑off set of tyre issues in 2024, followed by a clean record except for the brake‑pipe corrosion that now recurs. There is no evidence of a worsening trend beyond the persistent corrosion; the vehicle has otherwise passed three consecutive MOTs (2022, 2023, 2025) with no recorded defects. In that sense the condition appears stable, though the brake‑pipe issue should be monitored. At 79,247 miles for a 2010 model the mileage is low – roughly 4,950 miles per year.
